Dr. Moyo appears focused on a legitimate capital structure, as a way to economically develop an area. And Mr. Gates appears to be of a more emotional nature, choosing to focus on children not dying. However, because he chooses to go the emotional route, and gets to counter with "why do you want to kill children?", nobody will dare ask what the quality of life is, for those people that will now live. Is there respect for property? Will they be allowed to be entrepreneurs? Are there functioning capital markets for them to take part in?

It seems like the disagreement is not against a group providing vaccines, hearing aids, or cataract surgery directly to individuals who need such things, but against groups and governments giving money (or goods) to the governments to disperse how they see fit. I think this difference is huge. The problem is mostly with the governments ( both theirs and " ours"). As Ron Paul says, much of this aid is being taken from poor people in rich countries and given to rich people in poor countries. Not only that, but it is being given to the worst people in those poor countries who act as murderous despots. Murder, war, and slavery is essentially being subsidized by foreign "aid", but who does this really help?
